The Washington Nationals are one of the youngest and most promising teams in all of Major League Baseball. The franchise, which returned to Washington in 2005 after almost 40 years as the Montreal Expos, has accumulated young stars and has quickly become a team most opponents fear can develop into a perennial playoff contender. With top overall picks that were used to select Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper during the MLB Draft, the Nationals now have two of the most premier young players in the league on their roster.

Although their early years in Washington were dismal, the Nationals’ luck turned around for the better in 2009 when the team was awarded the top overall pick in the draft. Patiently waiting for his name to be called was a once-in-a-generation pitcher out of San Diego State, his name was Stephen Strasburg. After joining the Nationals, the ace made his highly-anticipated major league debut in 2010 when he set a franchise record for most strikeouts in an MLB debut with 14. After solidifying the hype that surrounded him before he appeared in the majors, Strasburg continued to wow Washington as he dominated opponents en route to a trip to the 2012 All-Star Game.

The Nationals’ luck continued in 2010 when they were the owners of the top pick in the draft once again. With this pick the team chose a 17-year-old player that was dubbed a phenomenon who would one day turn the franchise around. Bryce Harper was the name the Nationals called with the first overall pick in 2010 and he soon proved to everyone he was the real deal. The outfielder won the 2012 Rookie of the Year Award after posting a dominant season that saw him hit 22 home runs. The rookie also made the All-Star game that year, becoming the youngest position player to ever do so.

With a core of young players, the Nationals won the National League East Division in 2012 and gave their fans a taste of what’s to come. Harper and Strasburg are exceptional talents that have silenced all their critics since dominating the playing field. With other great players like Jordan Zimmermann and Jayson Werth, the Nationals are primed to dominate the NL East for many years to come. Fans and sports collectors should take advantage of the opportunity to capitalize on the success this team will have in the future with our expansive selection of Washington Nationals memorabilia.

While mentoring Harper, Jayson Werth has fought off some slumps to help the Nationals become a team no opponent wants to face. In 2013, Werth batted .318 with 25 home runs and 82 RBIs while recording his 1,000th career hit in the process.
